He paused for a moment, as if scrolling through notes in his head. “Listen, to be honest, in these schools there’s a 56 percent dropout rate–we can’t accept the status quo.” He took one more step down the aisle.

It speaks for itself.

Well done!

Without an extreme opposition that Obama can pose before as a relatively sane alternative, his political advantage is diminished.

Without a Tea Party opposition to his campaign promises in the legislature, he would be hard pressed to his explain his failure act in support of the 99%. He needs a plausible excuse, provided by the Tea Party, to avoid enacting legislation objectionable to the 1%.

Truths, as presented by Occupy, confer no political advantage to Obama.

My, my you’re upset at the idea the rich should pay more in taxes. Why might that be?

“Big money unions”? This is a joke. What about the rich and powerful in this society? They’re invisible in your warped universe where working people are the only enemies. You give the 1% a free pass and direct our attention to ordinary people who’s living standards are under attack. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I would rather bus drivers were rich than the likes of parasites like Penny Pritzker. At least bus drivers actually do socially necessary work. What does Pritzker do except watch others–i’m thinking of those awful, evil, greedy unionized hotel workers at Hyatt–make her ever richer.

Your world is totally upside down. The article makes clear what the real issue is: the rich get massive government bailouts and the military gets untold billions to build warships… but meanwhile we’re told there is no money for education or transportation infrastructure. It’s a joke. No amount of whining and bellyaching about those “big money” evil bus drivers will solve that contradiction.
